It's the time of the month that I allow my wife out of the basement for good behavior. So, we are staying in a condo near Destin, FL.
So, here's the simple math problem. First one who correctly answers, gets a fruitcake emoticon as reward.
We left our home near Jacksonville, FL at 7:35 AM. After stopping a couple of times, we arrived at our condo at 12:05 PM. How long did the trip take?

Re: Easy math problem
I see math is not a strong suit of Canadians.
Anyone else?

Actual moving time or overall?
If the latter, I would guess the answer is 4.5 hrs according to your timings.

How many restrooms are along the way...you are getting a wee bit old Rick and those bathroom breaks would slow anyone down at your age!

Re: Easy math problem
"Too long."
And whose "time of month" is it we're speaking of - as that could be a crucial variable in the question!

Unless the trip doesn't include breaks, but that is an unknown variable I'll call X.

Re: Easy math problem
Nobody has guessed correctly.
Is anyone worthy of the fruitcake emoticon?
Surely you all aren't idiots?

Re: Easy math problem
All info needed to find the correct answer, is in the original post.
This is a real life question. When someone gets the correct answer, I'll explain why it kinda freaked me out a little. It's not something I've ever experienced, and frankly, had never even thought of until it happened.
Anyone who does any cross country driving may understand.

I assure you that there's no physics of any kind, involved in getting the answer.

Re: Easy math problem
Since you are travelling from the Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone, I'd say 5.5 hours.
Does this mean that I'm a fruitcake?

We have a winnar!
That's the first time in my life that I've driven into a different time zone. As soon as I passed the sign indicating central time zone, our iPhone clocks went back an hour. For a brief moment, I was living the life of Marty McFly!

Re: Easy math problem
Gotta admit, I never realized that the time zone angled down across that part of FL - I'd always assumed all of the state was on EST.
